They've already dramatically cut prices. That can't be a good sign...

Any update on the jacket? Is it the same as the old one?

Looks like Lands End has re-released a few W&G items, including the Hemingway Jacket- http://www.landsend.com/shop/search?Ntt=willis+geiger The prices are actually pretty reasonable, comparable to their prices in the 90’s. They say the quality and detail is exactly what it was before, but...

They did the same thing with their former bush shirts and jackets, making them out of linen which wouldn't last two days in the bush- ..and ghastly overpriced. Shows they had no intention producing authentic goods designed for their intended purpose. Even Orvis seems to have gotten away...

I heard he was pretty loaded in most of his video series. Never watched them myself, though. Burt Avedon and many companies have tried, but Lands End wouldn't sell it. Something about them not wanting to be embarassed if it thrives. Read my thread on this several threads below. On a side...

Would you mind posting the "Making the Most of Meat" section? thanks.

The Great Lost Expedition Brand http://www.vice.com/read/the-great-lost-expedition-brand-000212-v20n2 I used to be a fan of Willis & Geiger, the old expedition clothing company, before Lands End shut them down. I stumbled upon this fairly recent interview with Burt Avedon, the former CEO of...

Is there anywhere to read these newly disclosed documents? That short article doesn't really reveal anything that wasn't either already known or shown in the movie Downfall.

Interesting, I might have to take a look at that. It's very puzzling why that particular niche of adventure clothing retailers (BR, Abercrombie, Willis and Geiger) are unable to survive without being completely transformed from their original image/market. There's plenty of demand for that...

Where did you find these clothing pieces; at thrift stores, estate sales, etc? And how do you know that a particular celebrity owned that piece of clothing?

Or at least sell the copyright/trademark, if they don't want to do anything with it...

This youtube video really got me interested in juleps. Watch it to the end- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJV-O1e10z8

I usually just take a couple of aspirins, and swallow them down with a single gulp of water. I've found that drinking more water with the pills makes it slower for the painkillers to digest. I know they say that lots of liquids are good, but my stomach usually can't hold down lots of liquid when...

I would add the last half of the 19th Century as well, with Baker, Livingstone, Speke and Burton all exploring the interior of Africa.
